Ah- you're a West Coast guy. Well, having not been to the homeland recently, I can't say what compares to Wegmans. Nothing? Larry's is somewhat like it, but I don't know if they are where you are, and Wegman's is even better if you love to cook.
It's sort of like if Whole Foods had started in NY a hundred years ago and still wanted to be your family grocer. Most of the people who shop there a price-conscious liberals who will blow the budget for a good epicurean delight. They have awesome staples and then all these little markets that make a cook or baker do the SQUEE dance for hours... Of course, if you just wanted to look good and be pretentious, they could cater for you, too.
I run those people down "by accident" with my cart on a routine basis.
